Description Narayan 2016-07-24 18:06:33 UTC 
Dolphin has dual panes, and each of the pane has separate tabs.
But the tabs are of random width, and it is impossible to say which tabs are for the left pane and which are for the right pane.

For the sale of example, let us name the tabs of left panes as L1, L2, L3 and the tabs for the right pane as R1, R2, R3.

The GUI should always show all the tabs belonging to a pane within the width of that pane.

For example, assume that I have dragged the vertical partition between L and R panes to the right side, so that now the L pane takes up 75% of the screen width. In this case, L1, L2 and L3 tabs should take up 75% of the screen width; and R1, R2 and R3 tabs should take up 25% of the screen width.

When I drag the partition between the two panes to the left/right, the width of the tabs also must be re-adjusted continuously.

But this does not happen.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Create a few tabs in left pane.
2. Switch to the right pane, and create a few tabs.
3. Look at the tabs: 

Actual Results:  
There is no clear demarcation between tabs of the left pane and tabs of the right pane.

Expected Results:  
The tabs belonging to the left pane must be accommodated within the width of the left pane.
Similarly, the tabs belonging to the right pane must be accommodated within the width of the right pane.

When the partition between left and right panes is moved, the width of the tabs must be adjusted so that their combined width never exceeds the pane's width.

You are referring to the split view right? The split view is specific to a tab. Opening new tabs from either of the two panes will create a new independent tab. At least this how it works on:

Dolphin 16.12.2
KDE Frameworks 5.30.0
Qt 5.8.0 (built against 5.7.1)
The xcb windowing system

Hello @Narayan, as explained by Nikolaos in comment 1, the tabs are independent from the split view. If this issue still occurs with Dolphin, it'd be helpful if you could attach a screenshot which highlights the issue.

No response -> closing. Please reopen this bug report if you can still reproduce the behavior with a newer version of Dolphin & attach a screenshot of the issue. Thanks!
